Quote : | "Duke sophomore point guard Greg Paulus may need surgery to repair a break in his fifth metatarsal in his left foot and will be ruled out indefinitely.
Duke is expected to make a formal announcement later Monday. Paulus injured his foot Saturday in practice.
While Paulus is out, the Blue Devils will use a committee of players handling the ball: forward Josh McRoberts, wings DeMarcus Nelson and Jon Scheyer and guard Gerald Henderson. Scheyer and Henderson are freshmen.
The injury to Paulus is similar to what befell Carlos Boozer during his Duke career.
Paulus, an ACC All-Freshman team honoree last season, averaged 6.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game a year ago while starting 33 of 36 games. He joined Ed Cota (North Carolina, 1997), Jeff Jones (Virginia, 1979) and Kenny Anderson (Georgia Tech, 1990), as the only players to lead the ACC in assists as freshmen. Paulus also set a Duke freshman record with 15 assists in a 104-77 win over Valparaiso on Dec. 18.
McRoberts, an ACC All-Freshman team and ACC All-Tournament second team selection in 2006, posted the team's top field goal percentage -- 60.5 percent -- last season. He was also on the team in scoring at 8.7 points per game and second in blocked shots (46) and rebounding (5.3 rpg.).
Nelson, one of three upperclassman on the Duke roster, is coming off an injury-plagued sophomore campaign. He averaged 7.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per game while playing in 24 games, including seven starts. Nelson shot 45.2 percent from the field and 41.0 percent from 3-point range.
The Blue Devils open the 2006-07 season Nov. 12 at home against Columbia.
Information from ESPN.com senior writer Andy Katz and The Associated Press was used in this report. " |

Get permission now so you can troll when they lose. It always sucks getting denied after a loss when all you want to do is flame their scout.com board.
V I have like 20 posts on there in 3 years all of the trolling variety with this name (nym410). Each preseason they unban me until the first loss. Then I get banned again

You know who I like on top of State. Trust me, Duke has done nothing the last decade for me to be jealous. You know that.. I just like to flame Duke fans. I have meetings the rest of the day so don't post back. 11/6/2006 2:51:09 PM |
